Insurers turn to undercover filming as they expose one man’s exaggerated personal injury claim, while pet insurers are left scratching their heads when they find themselves dealing with a time-travelling pooch. An opportunist tries his hand at forgery to sign off his own claim, dash camera footage sets the record straight when a case of road rage escalates into a fraudulent claim, and investigators see straight through an attempt for compensation after an accident abroad.
